5201-MNET-DFNT to ControlLogix

My configuration is 5201-MNET-DFNT module connected to 1756-ENBT module with 1756-L55M13 on the same chassis.
I need example command line in CFG file's [DFNT CLIENT 0 COMMANDS] section to read and write to "someParameter" tagname in the controller. "someParameter" data type is INT.

RE:5201-MNET-DFNT to ControlLogix

The sample command information you are asking about is contained in the DFNT Protocol Guide, Section 5.3, available for download from the ProLinx Gateways website.

The trick to accessing "Some_Tag" in the CLX is to use the LOGIC|Map PLC/SLC messages function of RSLogix5000. This allows you to map CIP-type tags to PLC/SLC N, F, B - type data table addresses. Then, you will be able to follow the DFNT Client Command examples in the Protocol Guide to set up your commands.
